Draft: Simplify compression of assets

Lukas 'ai-pi' Eipert requested to merge leipert-simplify-gzip into master

What does this MR do and why?

Instead of two separate compression steps during our asset pipeline (one from Rails, the other from webpack), we simply gzip once at the end.

Currently we even re-compress our CSS assets after fixing certain URLs.

It's probably easier to just compress everything once at the end of our asset pipeline.
